Abstract

A cargo divider between a first vehicle seat backrest and a second vehicle seat backrest used when one of the first or second backrest is folded down. The divider includes a first structure part along a lateral edge of the first backrest adjacent the second backrest, including a first top section, a first middle section and a first bottom section; a second structure part arranged along a lateral edge of the second backrest adjacent the first backrest, including a second top section, a second middle section and a second bottom section; a first wire having a first end attached to the first top section and a second end attached to the second top section; one or a plurality of further wires including a first end attached along the first middle section and a second end attached correspondingly along the second middle section.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A cargo divider for arrangement between a first vehicle seat backrest and an adjacent second vehicle seat backrest for use when one of the first vehicle seat backrest and the second vehicle seat backrest is folded down, the cargo divider comprising:
 a first structure part adapted to be arranged along a lateral edge of the first vehicle seat backrest adjacent the second vehicle seat backrest, comprising a first top section, a first middle section and a first bottom section; 
 a second structure part adapted to be arranged along a lateral edge of the second vehicle seat backrest adjacent the first vehicle seat backrest, comprising a second top section, a second middle section and a second bottom section; 
 a first wire comprising a first end attached to the first top section of the first structure part and a second end attached to the second top section of the second structure; 
 one or a plurality of further wires comprising a first end attached along the first middle section of the first structure part and a second end attached correspondingly along the second middle section of the second structure part; 
 wherein the first ends of each of the first wire and the one or a plurality of further wires are attached to the first structure part via a separate first biased roller so that each of the first wire and the one or a plurality of further wires are stretched at all times regardless of a relative folding angle between the first structure part and the second structure part. 
 
     
     
       2. The cargo divider according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the separate first biased rollers include a brake hindering rotation of the roller that is faster than a predetermined threshold. 
     
     
       3. The cargo divider according to  claim 1 , wherein the second ends of each of the first wire and the one or a plurality of further wires are attached to the second structure part via a separate second biased roller. 
     
     
       4. The cargo divider according to  claim 3 , wherein each of the first biased rollers and/or each of the second biased rollers are biased via a spring in the respective roller. 
     
     
       5. The cargo divider according to  claim 3 , wherein the first biased rollers and the second biased rollers are detachable. 
     
     
       6. The cargo divider according to  claim 1 , further comprising a fabric attached to and stretched out by the first wire and the one or a plurality of further wires. 
     
     
       7. The cargo divider according to  claim 1 , further comprising interconnecting cross wires or threads attached at crossing points to the first wire and the one or a plurality of further wires to form a net. 
     
     
       8. The cargo divider according to  claim 1 , wherein the first wire and the one or a plurality of further wires are detachable at the second end. 
     
     
       9. The cargo divider according to  claim 8 , wherein the first biased roller and the one or a plurality of further wires are detachable. 
     
     
       10. The cargo divider according to  claim 1 , wherein each wire of the first wire and the one or a plurality of further wires are flat. 
     
     
       11. The cargo divider according to  claim 1 , wherein the first structure part and the second structure part are detachably arranged to the first vehicle seat backrest and the adjacent second vehicle seat backrest. 
     
     
       12. A vehicle seat comprising a foldable first vehicle seat backrest and an adjacent foldable second vehicle seat backrest, comprising the cargo divider according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
       13. The vehicle seat according to  claim 12 , wherein the first vehicle seat backrest, the second vehicle seat backrest and any further vehicle seat backrest are placed adjacent each other but with a separating distance when the first vehicle seat backrest, the second vehicle seat backrest and any further vehicle seat backrest are in an upright position, and
 wherein the cargo divider extend over the separating distance. 
 
     
     
       14. The vehicle seat according to  claim 12 , wherein the first vehicle seat backrest, the second vehicle seat backrest and any further vehicle seat backrest are placed adjacent each other and in abutment with each other when the first vehicle seat backrest, the second vehicle seat backrest and any further vehicle seat backrest are in an upright position.
